Abstract:
The strategy inventory for language learning (SILL) was created by Rebecca L. Oxford in the mid 1980s and has been continuously studied and changed over the years. The SILL is used to enhance language learners’ strategy use and to discover the strategies that work best for individual learners. This poster will present an overview of the SILL as well as the current research on its effectiveness. Key findings and practical implications for classroom practitioners are also presented. By examining learner strategy use and encouraging strategy instruction in foreign and second language classrooms, language learning outcomes may be improved.
